And, should military action ever occur (highly doubtful), I'd probably laugh even more because it would mean that a Seth Rogan film has literally started a military conflict.
I agree the underlying message is corporations have been slacking on cyber security for a long time. I have read many articles where security experts keep warning of the danger companies are in and by default the general public. It's plain laziness. You would think after Target, Home Depot, and others have been hacked, changes would be made.

Sony is a victim of a crime, but if one of use left a brand new M car in a sketchy neighborhood unlocked with the keys in it; would anyone really feel bad for the person?
